Summary
Shandy is thrilled to welcome Theresa Nist for an EXCLUSIVE in-studio conversation. You know Theresa as the winner of the mega-hit season 1 of The Golden Bachelor. She wound up engaged to Gerry Turner, their televised wedding was watched by millions, but they announced their divorce only 3 months later. What *really* happened behind the scenes, after the wedding, and after the cameras turned off?
In light of Gerry's new tell-all book describing his version of events, Theresa sits down with Shandy for her most raw, unfiltered interview to date. How did it feel for Theresa to learn that Gerry wondered if he should have chosen his runner-up, Leslie? Did she mislead Gerry about quitting her career, did she misrepresent her finances, and did she read "How To Win The Bachelor" during filming, as he claimed in the book? Did she really make Gerry sleep on the sofa?! Theresa is normally very private but could not stay silent in light of the book's many accusations. Do not miss her brutally honest account.
